Don't let yourself go down with all the stories of heartbreak from the past
Don't let yourself fall down because of the feeling that happiness passes you by
Don't let yourself fall down because of the memory of your aching heart
Don't let yourself be let down by the loneliness of Sunday afternoons
Don't let yourself be overwhelmed by the immensity of an empty bed
Don't let yourself be weighed down by the weight of the shopping bags
Don't let yourself be let down by your age
Don't let yourself go through the Instagram photos of friendly couples
let yourself grow through time to take care of yourself
let yourself grow through the books you will read
let yourself grow with friends and family
let yourself grow and meet new people
let yourself grow and the world grow in you
let yourself grow and be reborn
let yourself grow and fall asleep right here
let yourself grow and sing without disturbing you
One day love comes without warning
One day passion will enter even with the door closed
One day will be many days and many nights
One day you won't even remember that there were days
where you didn't stop
to cry inside
and now
someone kisses, hugs and pampers you
with all the love
that you let grow
inside you
